Our Dream Deferred Fulfilling The Nation’s Promise

WITH

American Public Human Services Association

What Happens to a Dream Deferred? Poet Langston Hughes posed this question 70 years ago, asking what might happen if our nation’s offer of endless possibilities—our American Dream—remains out of reach and unrealized for many. APHSA’s new podcast series, Our Dream Deferred: Fulfilling the Nation’s Promise , explores these prescient questions by engaging with brilliant minds from a wide range of elds. Seeking a new way forward that will bring us closer to ful lling the American Dream for all, we’ll explore themes that get at the heart of what we’re experiencing:

• American Narratives around Race and Class • Human Behavior and Social Norms and How They Change • AI, Social Media , and the Race to the Bottom of the Brain Stem • Democracy and What Is Working Against It
